I would think turning it off and back on should do it...Should grab a new ip address..that or statically map one. The DHCP server should be checking for an ip before giving you one so I think that just turning it off and on should fix it.

Tried that and tried forgetting but same ip .105.

Maybe try removing the network and adding it again will help.

D its see remove network but see forget network. That dont help either.

Ok stilk no luck. Downloaded wifi static from market to change ip address and stil no luck. Either I don't know how to use the app or phones messed up on this router.
But I have the exact same router and can connect fine at home.8.8mbs at home

Well..the DHCP has the ip associated with your MAC address so everytime you turn on the wireless it asks the dhcp server for an address and the dhcp says..o hey I have one here already for you. If you turn off the wireless can you still ping the address? If so then the dchp may be set up wrong and not checking for dupes before giving the address out.

How would I ping my phone?

O sorry no..I meant turn off the wireless on the phoine the go to a computer and ping the address from there. But..if you said it was a duplicate ip address ill just take your word. No idea then.

To the OP,
What's happening to your device? Are you able to successfully connect to your WiFi but not get any Internet data (browse the web, search YouTube, or use any programs that require internet)? Are you getting an error message saying there is a conflict?
This happened to me yesterday. While I didn't get any error messages, my Cap's WiFi was able to connect to my company's wireless router. However, I could not get online, search YouTube, update my Daily Briefing or use any programs that require the internet. It says it's connected however I'm not getting any internet data. I touch "Forget" and try again several times. I even did a factory reset and still no-go. I called Samsung and they put me through Level 2 Support. While waiting on the phone with the tech, it finally worked for no reason. I was dumbfounded with the tech. Weird!!!
Addendum: When I couldn't connect to my company's WiFi with WPA/WPA2 PSK, I went to another office to connect to an unsecured WiFi. It worked. I got on the internet. My WiFi with WEP at home works. However, the problem was with my company's WPA/WPA2 PSK security WiFi. I'm not sure if the security has something to do with the issue.

got it solved..seems I wasent using the wifistatic program correctly.
Also no security at work just open connection.
If some one needs the steps I used I can post later when I get home.

Please post your steps. This would be very useful. I am having similar problems at work wifi and I dont think it is the Captivate that has the issue.

Srry had stuff come up yesterday.
Any way download wifistatic from market. Make sure ur are seeing a access. Open wifi static and add config. It will set all settings. After it sets settings chang ip address number to a higher number like.120. Save it. Then go to ur phone wifi settings and hit the menu button and select advanced. Go in there and make sure the ip address u wanted and click save..
If it dont work after this then its not a ip address conflic..
Srry typing from phone.

[Q] Wifi: Obtaining IP address...

When I try to connect to a secured wifi it just sits here at Obtaining IP address... passcode is correct or it doesn't make it this far. It does the same thing if I try to tether to my N1. Works fine if no encryption is used... Any one else? I remember having this problem with my N1 a long time ago, but it was fixed eventually plus I just got a new router... My N1 and laptop connect to everything fine.

I have the same problem and a guy from LG wrote me this:
"The issue seems to be that if the router does not send a server ID to the phone it will reject the IP address offered. This is not limited to LG phones, but is an Android issue."
The solution is to enter the internet parameters manually through "use static IP". Does anyone know what parameters we need to type in "IP Address", "Gateway", "Netmask", "DNS1", "DNS2"? Thanks!

HTC One X Stuck on "Obtaining IP address"

My phone keeps cycling obtaining IP address without ever getting one on my home network. It has previously worked fine on my home network for a little over a month now and the problem suddenly started yesterday. No other devices on my WiFi network has the problem. Phone and router were rebooted, problem continues.
Any ideas?

That didn't work either. I just put in a static IP and now I can fully connect. Hopefully a better solution comes out later.

How do you put in a static ip?

Is your home router set up for for dynamic ip?

That used to happen to me all the time on my Kindle Fire, particularly after flashing a new rom. The fix was setting the date and time to automatic, but that may not apply here.

I've found this happens too intermittently. It's a real pain. happened on a number of different custom ROMs.
other times it will say the network isn't in range, even though I know it is.

Depends on your network
DNS you get from your ISP, check router for it.
Prefix should be 24
IP whatever you set in the router ie 192.168.1.125
Gateway is whatever your router is ie 192.168.1.1
Google setting up static ip network it will help explain it and over at ddwrt they have pictures to help... very easy stuff. PM if you want/need help

You can try to turn off auto-DLNA..
It may causing device to configured itself under private ip range..

Same problem. Using stock rom. Tried static ip but not works.
This problem is a software problem? Or hardware?

This doesn't apply to my device now but on my previous HTC this would happen quite frequently I think it's more of a software bug then firmware it would seem that the drivers for the antenna are hit or miss

I had this issue and my phone wouldn't connect to any router "obtaining ip address" forever. Mind you my phone was 5days old, so took it right back to Rogers for a new exchange. My HOX is now perfect and connects to all wifi without issues.

Did you possibly enter the wrong spa password, then re enter it correctly and now you are having this problem?
If so, try this ... works on most Androids.
Click where it says obtaining IP address, the press "Forget"
Turn off Wifi.
Go Into Hone Settings > Power and disable Fast Boot.
Now power off the phone ...not restart.
Leave the phone off six minutes and not a moment less.
Then power up and try again.
Be careful to enter your wpa password correctly on the first try.
If still same problem try rebooting router.
Also consider installing SmartSync Disabler which can be found here on xda and at the google play store.
That app should solve the remaking wifi annoyance affecting these one x phones

the employer blocked the WIFI from employees (obtaining the ip address issue)
we cant access the WIFI in the hotel at where we work and although there are a password you put at the hotel's WIFI website but they did something lately to all of us and it is when any of the staff open the WIFI on his mobile it just keep showing obtaining IP address and no result so if you guys could help me in this and do i have to get a new phone or to try hiding my IP i tried a lot of apps but no way plz help

WiFi?

Hi,
Why am I getting this notification for the 1st time in approx 2 months that have got a OPO, despite that am connected to WiFi?
Hoping to hear from you experts.
Thanks.

This sort of thing normally pops up when the WiFi network wants you to go to some sort of page, this is usually for a login to free WiFi hotspots, I assume this Dlink is your WiFi? Perhaps it wants you to open this page to change a configuration or login. This doesn't seem to be Android related at all but more to do with your router, could you try tapping on the notification and screenshot the page it opens, if any.

He's right. This looks like a router setting that you might have turned on like guest mode.

DLink is my WiFi and not a hotspot WiFi, never occurred earlier.
When I tap on it, G chrome takes me to 173.194.35.96/generate _204
Google results of this IP......173.194.35.96 which is Spy-IP.com
and Google has different results for this 173.194.35.96/generate _204
It never happened earlier in the past 2 months.
Been using the same OPO and same WiFi.
Any solutions to resolve it?
Thanks again and Best regards!

This is a router setting then, that page is some sort of login. Perhaps guest mode has been enabled on your router? Try this:
Settings>Wi-Fi>Modify Network>Show advanced options> Change DHCP to Static. Here, find the box that says Gateway and note the IP here. Now change Static back to DHCP and close this menu.
Go into the browser on your OPO and put in this Gateway IP, this will take you to the router config. The login for this is usually on the bottom of the router, otherwise the default can be found by searching the router model number, try finding a guest mode setting and turning it off - I really don't know... You can also change your WiFi name and password here if you like
I can't really help you any more than that.

Glad to hear, I am strongly advising against the factory restore. This is a feature of Android, although it is strange for it to be happening in this circumstance there is nothing it will achieve.

1. Changed router's password.
2. Guests mode is Off.
3. All apps working with WiFi except GMail and GPS.
4. Still see the notification.
5. Should WPS be Enabled, it is disabled at the moment?
6. You don't recommend a factory reset what about a re flash of 30 OR?
Thanks.

Your phone is working fine, it seems you have triggered some sort of bug in Android's WIFI login detection.
The system works by accessing DNS and check if the resulting IP is owned by google.com or some network-internal redirection/replacement by a login page.
Now, the IP 173.194.35.96 is owned by Google, so the DNS lookup obviously worked perfectly but for some reason the phone gets an unexpected answer from that server. Which makes me guess to one of the 2 following options:
a) one of the computers in your network is infected and Google keeps showing the "Prove you're human" captcha window on requests.
b) your provider is replacing failed DNS lookups with it's own "helper" page which for some reason is making Android trip. If possible, change the DNS servers in your router to either OpenDNS or Google DNS.

That's entirely your choice. However I would only recommend enabling it if it's the "Push to WPS" method and not constantly on - WPS is broken and depending on your router it takes between 1 to 10'000 attempts (1 second to ~ 2 hours) to break into your WIFI. Not good!

How to change DNS IP

I replied in another thread, but I think I'll give it it's post because many people are asking.
Took some crummy pics:
Home -> WIFI connection:
image (1).jpg
Device Network -> Wi-Fi Connected
image (2).jpg
Network Wi-Fi -> {select your active connection} In my case it is Leafs RULE!!_5G
image (3).jpg
Select Advanced options
image (4).jpg
Then select IP settings. In your case it'll say IP settings DNS. In my pic it says IP settings Static.
image (5).jpg
IP settings -> STATIC
image (6).jpg
Go through the IP settings and enter in a static IP, gateway, and DNS settings. Press save and then hope it saves.
You know it saved properly when "IP settings DNS" changes to "IP settings Static". In my case, it didn't pick up the new settings till the next day. Maybe after you save your settings, power cycle NP; go back into settings and see if it changed over to static. As with other things with the NP, try a couple of times.
I didn't change or add anything to my router. My router is still using my ISP DNS IPs.

Go through again slowly and double check. I had the same issue at first. I saw settings were saved in the wrong sections. I think there are bugs in this section when saving.

I kept having problem saving the dns 2. I key in a different ip address, but it kept reverting to the ip address of dns 1.

I've noticed this also, but this has not caused any issues.

Do you know if there's any Apps for easy switching DNS on the NP without Root?
I would love being able to switch between European and American Netflix, but going through all those steps to change DNS every time is a bit of a hassle :-/

The only step you have to change is the DNS IP. Yes, an app would be nice.

Don't you have to type in all the other stuff too every time? (IP, Gateway, Router IP etc.)
Last time I tried it didn't save any of it.

Think there is a bug, I also did not manage to save dns2. Some said have to wait for 1 day before nexus player reflect the new dns. IMHO, Lolipop is not ready for nexus player.

Very nice. Another option is you can use static IP overrides in your router, if it has them. I'm able to assign a static IP based on Mac address via my router that overrides the DHCP server. This is handy for devices where static IP setup isn't easily available (or not available at all). Not all routers can do this though.

No. You have to just put in the new DNS IPs for 1 and 2
